I just finished the test for Glaurung & Belka in a 4 Round Robin vs some top Chess engines

For this one I decide to use Fritz 10 which is a very good real tournament book (not draw book)

1st - With no Surprise Rybka of course Finished 1st ... a little surprise is that Rybka didn t kick Fruit and Toga Ass ...

2nd - is DS11 who did very good except on this tournament, It even kill Naum smp (3.5/4) , bad think is of course vs Rybka 0.5/4 and Zappa

3rd - Zappa Mexico just 0.5 behind DS11

4th - New Glaurung was impressive on 8 cpu , Maybe the new Free UCI engine King at least on 8 cpu (Wait and See )

5 - Naum did well vs Zappa (50 % ) However it lost too much points vs Rybka and DS11 on this test

6 - This Fruit Beta is for sure stronger than Fruit 2.3.1 (vs others chess engines ) , It was the only to beat Rybka on 4 games match

7 - Spike Draws a lot of games

8 - Toga did so so ... not too bad not too good ..

9 - Fritz 10 ... This is a surprise to see it so low because the test was with his own book supposed to be tuned for him !!!

10 - Belka played too fast , I expected him to be in the middle of this test , Strangely it did very bad only 2/36 !!! Maybe something gone wrong ....
especially in the end of game where it was killed

Hi Daniel,
Belka 1.8.13 has nomally no parameters set - all parameters are set to 0 by default. So better use version 12 or version 13 without person.txt

[Daniel Charles]

Thanks Werner

Probably that s why It performed so badly ...
something was wrong ...

will make another test with version 12

is not belka, according to vas, just a rybka 1.0 clone. why waste time on this engine?

[GenoM]

oh boy, another believer here... "according to Vas" Blah. What's about "according to the evidence"?

[Tony Thomas]

oh boy, another believer here... "according to Vas" Blah.

I still wonder why he refuse to look at the code.

[ozziejoe]

anybody who watched strelka and rybka 1.0 play would be struck by the similarity....and then they share a very high ponder hit, higher than any other engine if my memory serves me correctly.

Your memory serves you wrong. Look at the CCRL ponder hits statistics.

[GenoM]

Just a hypothesis: he (Rajlich) was affraid to have any relationships with a man (Osipov) whos intentions he (Rajlich) can hardly understand.

[ozziejoe]

I think there are some strong arguments here

Including the finding that strelka is more similar to rybka beta than rybka beta is later rybkas. there is other evidence presented in this thread that i find complelling. Too many coincidences. of course if someone can refute this evidence in some way i would be interested
